Raising niños in a mixed and matched world.
Racial Profiling, Stereotypes & Self-Preservation Sometimes I get emotional thinking about where my husband could’ve ended up…where he could still end up. We once lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Not many people know of it, but it was a place where I stayed up late nights to be sure my husband came home. We lived in [...]
It’s been a while… Since my last few posts here on Bicultural Mom, I’ve been working on lots of special projects and taking some much needed quality time with my family. Not long ago, we celebrated Father’s Day with a grilling fest, during which my hubby actually grilled steaks three days in a row. That [...]
Diagnosing My Husband with Dyslexia When I met my husband, I knew there was something different about him. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but he was a bit goofy in social interactions and much kinder and more sensitive then other men I’d met. I wouldn’t have pegged him as being Dyslexic though, since [...]
Diagnosing Dyslexia at Age 33 Dyslexia can be a fatal affliction. Part of the problem is that it often goes undiagnosed until adulthood. Because of this, many who suffer from it are left inexplicably wounded by the criticism and abuse that they take throughout their lifetime because they believe that these symptoms are their fault.

My Husband & Latino Celebrities As long as I’ve been with my husband, I’ve heard comments about how he “looks so much like” some Latino celebrity. When he starts cracking jokes, the comparisons are narrowed a bit. Then he only “looks like” every Latino comedian they’ve watched. Yes, he’s even been compared to Gabriel Iglesias [...]
How we met… I was working at a local amusement park for my second summer in a row when I met my husband. Like usual, I was making my rounds, taking surveys of local guests, in order to find out what they did or didn’t like about the park. I always saw lots of thirsty [...]
Bicultural Identity: My Husband’s Story of Life on ‘La frontera’ I struggled a lot in writing this post. Not because it was difficult really, but because this is my husband’s story and it’s one that I don’t take lightly. I really wanted to do justice to the challenges that he’s faced, and ones that we [...]
Image Credit: Flickr / themaccraic-david Yesterday, I was listening to Michelle’s podcast for Is That Your Child? and she brought up a really interesting topic. A little debate spurred up, or I could say that it was more of a discussion about why or why not certain costumes could be construed as offensive and/or racist. [...]
Image Credit: Flickr / themaccraic-david My husband and I had an interesting conversation about difficulties in our relationship as an interracial couple, the challenges that he’s faced with job discrimination and education. I really enjoy doing these podcasts with hubby and it’s been a while since I’ve posted one, but we’ve still been recording them [...]
[image source] Ricardo and I are having a lot of fun recording these mock “podcasts” together and in this episode we’ve even cracked ourselves up a few times! We start out our chat talking about a recent article from Born Bicultural USA that examines the mamá sagrada and mamá complicada relationships within the familia latina. [...]
